BOOKS WE SHARED<\/h2>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Hooray for Fish<\/strong><\/em> by Lucy Cousins is full of bright, colorful, diverse, wacky, playful and wonderful fish.\u00a0 We met a spotted fish, a stripy fish, a happy fish, a gripy fish and many, many more!\u00a0 Although the book is a bit long it is easily shortened to fit an infant’s attention span.\u00a0 It is also chock full of amazing illustrations that will keep your baby engaged throughout and\u00a0introduces counting in subtle ways.<\/p>\n

In One Lonely Fish<\/strong> <\/em>we do a little counting and meet 10 fish.\u00a0 The 10th fish is SO HUGE\u00a0that\u00a0it eats all of the smaller fish\u00a0that came before it!\u00a0Not\u00a0to worry, it’s just a story!\u00a0 A great book that teaches counting, builds anticipation and touches on size comparisons (going from the smallest to the biggest fish and everything in between.\u00a0 A great book for infants and toddlers.<\/p>\n

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
\nHe had ten thousand men;
\nHe marched them up to the top of the hill
\nAnd he marched them down again.
\nWhen they were up, they were up,
\nAnd when they were down, they were down,
\nAnd when they were only halfway up,
\nThey were neither up nor down.<\/p>\n
